Board of Trustees FAQ
Kristie Callais, Board Chair
Over the past 15 years, my family and I have been deeply connected to this community. My oldest daughter just graduated with the Class of 2025, and we currently have an eighth grader and a kindergartener enrolled—with our youngest child eagerly waiting to begin his journey. We look forward to many more years ahead. I’ve had the unique blessing of watching my children mature into confident, faith-filled individuals—an outcome I attribute to their
experiences at Sacred Heart. What sets this school apart is its unwavering commitment to the values that form the foundation
of a life well-lived: faith-based learning, academic rigor, servant leadership, meaningful community, and the development of “wise freedom.” These cornerstones are not just part of our mission—they are actively lived out in our classrooms, on our playing fields, and in the hearts of
our students.
